This is a blog where I show images of things I see as I wander about, mainly in the Holme Valley at the edge of the Pennines in West Yorkshire. I'm fairly new to photography even though I'm not that young and I'm very enthusiastic about improving my skills. I like to process my photos to make them look as good as I am able. I love to share my images and some day I would like to start selling them as prints and framed and share with more people.

Bodnant Gardens

It's getting to be quite a habit at the moment going to National Trust properties. I think it's because I've recently noticed how much it is costing me to be members and I need to get some value from it. We've been members since the girls were small so it must be nearly twenty years.

So Bodnant Gardens is in North Wales a few miles South of Conway and LLandudno. The Hall is not open to the public and has been owned by one family for over 125 years. The gardens are magnificent and there are two separate areas, the formal gardens near the house and the wild gardens down in the "Dell".

Within the formal gardens is the Laburnum Arch, flower beds, lawns, big trees, two lilly ponds and the white arched folly. In the dell is a stream, an old mill, lots of very big trees, a few bridges, lots of paths and a waterfall. I would highly recommend a visit and I hope you like the photos I have put on Flickr. Click the photo to take you to the rest of the pictures.

Photo Blog of Colin Whiteley

Hi and welcome to my blog.

I have to apologise for neglecting my blog for a while. I have been hard at work getting my new web site up and running. I am setting the site up as Holme Valley Photo and will eventually be having a go at selling some of my work from the site. It's still very much under construction but you can link to it here.

I have also been getting up to speed with Google+ and have been posting a few photos to the Martin Bailey Photography (MBP) community. I'm not sure if this works if your not signed in as me but this might be a link to my G+ posts.
